Bottom View (Open)

 LAN1 (PoE) Port – This Ethernet interface will be used to power the access

point through the P+DATA OUT proprietary PoE injector and provide

10/100Mbps network connectivity to the access point. Router mode only: The

LAN1 port interface will be used for wired WAN Internet connectivity when the

access point is configured in Router mode and wired LAN connectivity can be

used on the LAN2 port interface.

 LAN2 Port – This Ethernet interface is a secondary 10/100Mbps LAN port

interface and can be used to also access the access point. The LAN2 port and

LAN1 (PoE) port are bridged for all modes except Router mode where LAN2 will

function as a wired LAN port and LAN1 port will function as wired WAN

Internet port.

 LAN1 LED – When the LED is on, this indicates an active network connection to

the LAN1 port. If there is no active network connection to 10/100 DATA IN on

the proprietary PoE injector, there is no active link to the LAN1 port and LED

will be off. When the LED is blinking, this indicates data is being transmitted or

received on the LAN1 port.

 LAN2 LED - When the LED is on, this indicates an active network connection to

the LAN2 port. If the LED is off, there is no active network connection to the

LAN2 port. When the LED is blinking, this indicates data is being transmitted or

received on the LAN2 port.

 Power (PWR) LED – When the LED is on, this will indicate that the device is

receiving power and off if the device is not receiving power.

 Reset Button – The reset button resets the access point to factory default

settings. Using a paper clip, push and hold the reset button for 15 sec. and

release. The LEDs will flash when the device reset has been initiated.

 Connection Quality Indicators – These LEDs will indicate the wireless

connection quality to the wireless ISP network when using WISP (CPE) mode.

 Grounding Screw – The grounding point/screw allows you to attach the unit to

a proper ground point.

 Cable Guides/Removable tabs – With the enclosure cover installed, the cable

guides and removable tabs allows you to route RJ-45 cables and the ground

cable externally from the device while protecting the internal port connection

of the device to the network.

Important Note:

It is recommended to use RJ-45 cables without any additional caps, molded caps, or

boots specifically on the connector side that will be connected to the access point LAN1

(PoE) port to avoid any cable fitment issues inside the access point enclosure.

 Proprietary PoE Injector –

Important Note:

The access point does not support standard IEEE 802.3at/af PoE/PoE+. Only the

included proprietary PoE injector may be used to supply power to the access point.

For safety, use only the included PoE injector to supply power to the access point.

o POWER IN – Connect the included power adapter connector to this

input and adapter side into an AC power source to supply power to

the injector.

o P+DATA OUT – Connect an Ethernet RJ-45 cable to this output and the

other side to the device LAN1 (PoE) port to supply power to the

device. Please note that the RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the

proprietary PoE injector and the LAN1 (PoE) port of the access points

supports a maximum length of up to 60 m (197 ft.). RJ-45 Ethernet

cables longer than the maximum length specified may result in

insufficient power to the device, intermittent connectivity/power loss,

and unstable physical link.

o 10/100 DATA IN – Connect an Ethernet RJ-45 cable to this input and

connect the other to your network or directly to a computer for initial

device setup.

Primary Product Application

The intended purpose and application for this product is to extend network connectivity

across long physical distances outside of an area or building that lacks local connectivity

using point-to-point wireless bridge capability using 802.11 standards. Essentially, two

access points configured in point-to-point bridge capability can connect/link the two

physical locations or buildings together through an encryption wireless connection.

Although this product supports multiple wireless modes, the basic installation will only

cover the primary application of point to point wireless connectivity in WDS (Wireless

Distribution System) Bridge Mode using AES encryption for security.
